Things to do when visiting Notre Dame May 2019 edition:

It's a small campus so it's very easy to walk around and see everything. You'll want to see The Grotto, get pics by touchdown Jesus, The Basilica, and just check out the campus. Like I said, its a short walk for everything.

As far as coming in, with kickoffs moving to 2:30 for most games, it's best to come in Friday night if you are coming from Chicago. It's about 2 hours from O'Hare, 90 minutes from Midway and around 75-80 minutes depending on traffic if you are coming from a hotel downtown from the Toll Road. Friday's are pep rallies and there are a lot more restaurants and things to do in SB that in the past. You'll want to check out The Backer (historic and full of old people) Corbys (the bar from Rudy and slightly younger crowd) or stay near campus and check out The Commons (right next to campus with a few cool bars). SR 23 is also close and there are bars there like Mulligan's (Midwest country girls) and Coach's (not a bad place).

As far as Saturday, myself, NilesIrish and laxjoe always have tailgates, so feel free to hit us up, we are more than accommodating. If you want to get a pass, try to find one for the Joyce lot, which is the biggest lot, but there are also other lots like the White Lot in the back of campus. I haven't done that one in years but it's a shit show usually. Most spots are great and ND is mostly really cool with traveling fanbases (except BC and Sparty, fuck them).

It's best to use a secondary market if you want tickets. Depending on the game, they are fairly easy to get. They sell them outside the campus, but those people are mostly awful. The stadium was renovated so it is comfier, but no alcohol in the stadium and no pass outs if you leave. Ushers can be bitchy but they have done a good job making it a better gameday experience than in the past. Once the game is over, it's fairly easy to get out of the area and a toll road entrance is close to get back to Chicago.

If others want to add to this, let me know. Also, feel free to reach out to any of us with specific questions.

7:02 a.m.: When offensive guard Parker Boudreaux called the staff after sending in his letter of intent, associate head coach/wide receivers coach Mike Denbrock says, "You may be the only guy in America who’s not happy to have this process over."

Watching the live feed on watchnd. They were talking to claypool. He had 51 points last night in basketball. As they were wrapping up the call Elston gets a call and says "what's up Jeff" but the feed cut away. I wonder if that was jeff mcculloch calling in.
